Really looking forward to this one...

Payday 2 feels a little less like a co-op shooter than it does a heist simulator. If you were being uncharitable, you might have called the original a Left 4 Dead clone, styled after the shootout set-pieces of Heat. It had its own smart ideas and brutishly amoral charm but it knew its limits – which are surely traits befitting any criminal mastermind.

Judging by my hands-off runthrough of the sequel, Payday 2 has forced those limits to the floor, hogtied them and pushed them into a stationery cupboard.


Part of a review article from PCGamer here.

Releases on Steam on Aug 13th.

Been playing the beta for this and it's pretty good, much better than the first and lots more missions/heists than in Payday 1.

Nothing much really, just a mask, sight and small discount on in-game things.
